Our friends at the Society for the Preservation and Promotion of Sapphic Social Mores (also known as SPPSSM) have an exciting opportunity for audience members at our fall show. They are seeking 4 volunteers to participate Live! Onstage! in their very own version of The Dating Game, “Who wants to court a consenting single and/or non-monogamous Sapphist?”

Contestants will ask and respond to questions written by SPPSSM live on stage. There is no obligation to go on a date, but SPPSSM is happy to help subsidize the cost of a first date should participants choose to do so. Because everyone is a winner with SPPSSM, all contestants will receive a thank you gift from the Femme Show merch table.

Femme applicants strongly encouraged, but no one will be turned away on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation.

If you will be attending October 17 or 18, and would like to participate, or for more details, please email rachelpkahn @ gmail dot com.

We reminisced about Prides past, Amy Raina told us about her talent show escapades as a baby dyke, SublimeLuv got all aggressive femme on us, Jessica Halem worked on her Bahstahn accent, and Good Harbor mesmerized us with their words and songs. Rainbow outfit #1.

OUR NEXT SHOW

Saturday, September 20, 2014: BETWEEN THESE SHEETS (paper and/or cloth)
Deadline for submissions: Monday, August 18

GenreQueer is an effort by In the Street’s Productions (the folks who bring you The Femme Show) to make more space for queer performance in Boston, a cross between an open mic, a salon, and a fully produced variety show.

Want to perform? Email maggie at thefemmeshow dot com with a description of your act, including samples of your work if available, a photo of you we can use for promotion and a short bio. Open to all kinds of queer performances, performers and storytellers, 10 minutes or less.

PRIDE is a great time for femmes and our friends to get out there and be visible! As our friend says, “Fuck Femme Invisibility.” In the Streets Productions is proud to sponsor MadFemmePride’s award winning marching contingent in the pride parade!

DYKE MARCH and Picnic!
MFP will have an informal picnic before the Dyke March. The march is on Friday, June 13th, at 7 p.m., at the Boston Common gazebo, the day before the Pride parade. The picnic will start at 6 p.m., bring a sandwich or something for yourself and your friendly, smiling face.

Bring something to share with everyone if you like (remember you will have to carry whatever is leftover in the march after it). We will hang out and eat and chat with new people. Folks may decide to march together at 7 p.m. as the MFP sparkly-awesome-fabulous contingent. Yay!

We will try to find a shady spot under a tree / with some benches near the start of the march. We’ll try to put up a banner that says “QUEER Femme PRIDE” so you can find us easily. For more information about the Dyke March go here –>www.bostondykemarch.com

Friendly contingent of femmes, friends & allies in the Pride Parade!
Meet starting at 10 AM on Saturday, June 14. Our exact lineup location will be announced soon, check meetup or Facebook for updates. Here’s our HOTLINE NUMBER so you can text (or call) us if you can’t find us that day: 617-682-0843.

We have a theme: ROYALS. But if that doesn’t inspire you, no worries — just show up as yourself / in your costume / in layers…

We’re excited to burst forth on that big-queer-holiday Saturday in June, marching down the street past cheering supporters, children jumping for joy, and friends jumping in along the route… as we stroll, dance, hoop, smile and even chit chat the whole way.

You can bring posters if you’d like. Noisemakers rock — whistles, clappers, rattles, etc. So do hula hoops and streamers! Friends, children, and dogs are welcome.

Do you ever go to big Gay Events and feel lost? Are you kind of shy sometimes? Wish you could feel like you were a part of it all? Try it out: March with us!

Perhaps wearing matching tshirts with your co-workers just isn’t LOUD AND PROUD enough for you? March with us!

Perhaps you are passionate about diversity and want some super-positive femme-celebratory and all-gender-expression-rocks vibes around you? March with us!

Perhaps you’d like to bring someone to Pride but you don’t know where to go exactly? Or maybe you really really really wanna make sure that they have a good time and get to actually MEET some cool people and not just stand there and watch stuff go by? March with us!
